In most RPGs,  there is a certain degree of grinding (i.e. killing creatures/enemies repeatedly) for experience points and eventually leveling up the main character(s). This is generally achieved when enemies respawn (to some degree).  Do Dragon Age enemies respawn?

In general, no enemies in Dragon Age Origins respawn, and there's no grinding.

Little-to-no "grinding".  The encounters and progression seem fairly natural and straight forward.

But there are battles way very harder than average, which we struggle a lot to win. Some of these battles can't be let for later because we can't leave the place before finishing it.

I played my first playthrou as a mage on normal mode, and had to go easy mode. My second was as rogue and I was able to do hard mode almost all the time!

@HirkariWS;  But "battles way very harder than average" isn't "grinding". 

 

In fact, having to actually plan out the team, equipment, tactics, and actions for a specific battle against a particular opponent is the exact opposite  of "grinding".  ;)

 

Makes me remember some good times with BG/BG2!

There is, but not as much as DAI.

Thandal, I didn't mean it's grinding, I mean that this kind of situation is what brings the need for grinding.

We get to an enemy we're not powerful enough to kill and we must get back and grind past enemies to earn XP and get stronger.

So, we don't grind because there's no respawn, even from the darkspawn lol, but we have situations with the need for grinding.

There's no grinding, but you can buy Elfroots and put them in the ally boxes in the camp to get XP and that's the easiest way to level up :lol:

@HikariWS;  And I guess I mean the exact opposite.  In my first playthrough I had several tough fights. I still shudder remembering when I encountered the ogre at the top of and the Tower of Ishal, and Uldred at the top of the Circle Tower, for the first time!.  But I never felt like I had to grind my way along "just getting XP" to beat some Boss.

 

By my third or fourth playthrough (I've done a score-or-more now) I was playing on Nightmare, and soon even that felt easy.  Now admittedly, getting the reward items for completing the DLC, (particularly selling the Reaper's Cudgel from GoA to the Quartermaster at Ostagar) may have contributed to being overpowered early on!  :lol:
